Cookie will be 7 years old 2/9/15. We bought her from a local breeder. Her mother was a chocolate doxie and her father a long haired chocolate dapple. I have pictures of both parents (both owned by the breeder). Cookie was named that because she looks like a chocolate chip cookie. She also acquired the addition of "Monster" to her name because she is not friendly to anyone but us. She is a one-family dog and does not like anybody else. Don't even try to pet her if her Daddy is holding her. She is Daddy's girl!! She is not friendly at all to anyone else, which was a surprise to me because I've never owned an unfriendly doxie. Maybe the dapple in her breeding bloodline makes her temperament different like that, I don't know. Our other doxie was a long haired black and tan, Ayla, who lived to be just shy of 16 years, and she was the friendliest, most loving dog we've ever owned. She never met a stranger, but Cookie is just the opposite...she's very unfriendly. Ayla was blind and deaf in the last two years of her life, but we made out okay. Ayla learned to know hand signals before she lost her sight. Cookie was never very close to Ayla because Ayla was old, but Cookie loved her "big brother" Neo, our yellow Lab, and she was very sad when Neo crossed the Rainbow Bridge four months ago from liver cancer. Prone for doxies, Cookie developed periodontal disease recently and has lost 8 teeth. I have to brush her teeth almost daily, but she tolerates that fine. Keep up with that, folks. Cookie is so special and such a blessing to us because we got her when we needed her and didn't even know that then. She comforted her Daddy every single day for six months when he was having to take meds that made him so sick. She would not leave his side for one minute, and now that he's well, I think she is just so protective of him...she's Daddy's girl, for sure!! Cookie has a ton of toys but loves the loud squeaky ones best and loves to run up and down the hall and play "Zoom-Zoom". She loves to go for walks with her Daddy and go for rides in his truck, and whenever he goes to Home Depot, he takes her and lets her ride in the cart, and she's good about tolerating "store strangers" who walk up and want to pet her. She seems to know she has to behave in public! She's so adorable and we love her to pieces, and she's the spoil-dest doxie on the planet!!! She's just our Cookie Monster!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Sitting on Daddy's legs in his recliner.

I lost my best friend, Neo (yellow Lab) four months ago when he crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Now I'm an "only child" and so beyond spoiled!!!
